By Chandler
You are about to read about an interesting shark. The size of a Tiger Shark is about 12 to
14 feet. It weighs up to 850 - 2,000
pounds. It can eat fish, squid, birds, seals and other
sharks, and sea turtles. They live in
tropical waters and coastal waters.
Here
are some interesting facts: It is the
2nd
most dangerous shark and most common
shark.
Its eye color can change from blue to green
which helps them blend in with
the water. It has
light strips on its
side. It will eat almost anything.
The following items that have been found in a
Tiger shark: alarm clocks, boat seat cushions,
clothing, jewelry, tires and

I’m going to tell you some facts about the Goblin Shark. The largest Goblin Shark caught was 12 feet
long. The weight of this shark was
known. Its food source is sting rays,
mollusks, squid, jacopever, octopi, and crabs.
This shark lives in deep waters up to 1,200 meters down. The Goblin Shark lives all over the
world. The Goblin Shark is very
uncommon. Not many people have seen one
before. The first one was found off of
the coast of Japan in 1898.
The Goblin Shark It is pinkish-gray in color. Its snout is shaped like a sword. Their bellies glow in the dark. They don’t like to be exposed to the sunlight. The Goblin Shark is very cool. |

…Hammerhead Sharks…
By Kailey Grace
I am doing a shark report on Hammerhead Sharks. Hammerhead Sharks live all over the world. They can grow up to be twelve to twenty feet
long. They weigh up to about 1,000 pounds.
They eat small fish, sting rays, small sharks, and squid. They live in
warm coastal waters and move to cooler waters in summer months. Thankfully,
they aren’t likely to attack humans!
Hammerheads have a hammer-shaped
head. This is why they are called
Hammerhead sharks! Like a hammer, the
eyes stick out on the ends. This gives
the shark a better view. They swim 250
feet below the surface. Hammerheads have
a great sense of smell. They are either
a light grey or a greenish in color. Hammerhead sharks are my favorite species
of shark.

This report tells what
I learned about the angel shark. Its size is 5 to 8 feet long and weighs 27
kilograms. It eats mollusks, fish living near the ocean floor, flounders,
shellfish, and other crustaceans. It lives as a bottom dweller. It is located
in the Gulf of Mexico. It has a flat body like a sting ray. They bury
themselves in the sand to hide from predators and to hunt prey. Its fins look
like angel wings. It looks similar to a sting ray! I learned a lot about the
angel shark.

…Black Tip Shark…
By Michael
My report is about the Black Tip
Shark. It is about 6 feet long. The Black Tip Shark weighs between 25 - 30
pounds. It eats small fish, mollusks,
and crustaceans. The Black Tip Shark lives in tropical waters.
An
interesting fact about this shark is that there is a black tip on the pectoral and
dorsal fins. This shark usually hunts
small fish traveling in schools. This is
an interesting creature.

…Great White Shark…
By Owen
I studied the Great White Shark. It can be 12-16 feet long and weigh 3,000
pounds. It has a great sense smell,
hearing, and eyesight. Its belly is
white and it is grey on top.
The Great White Shark eats seals,
sea lions, smaller sharks, turtles, and dolphins. They live in warm waters along the shore lines
of Australia, South Africa and California.
The Great White the most dangerous
shark because it is the most likely to attack humans. It hunts both day and night.
They can lift their head out of the
water. Most sharks aren’t able to do
that. They have 3,000 teeth that are in 5 rows.
New teeth come in when old ones come out. They loose their teeth every day. The Great White arches its back and throws
back its head before it attacks. I
learned a lot about the Great White Shark.
